Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the main room, Zhao Shouzheng and Liu Yuanwai were listening to what was going on in the west room.  But the thick wooden door was well insulated, and the two of them could only hear the faint sobs of Zhou Jijiu.

    'what's the situation?  ¡¯ Zhao Shouzheng¡¯s eyes widened, and he thought to himself: ¡®Could it be that my son drank Zhou Jijiu, what should I do?  ¡¯

    He knows very well what crime it is for a citizen to assault an official.

    Liu Yuanwai¡¯s face was as pale as dirt. He couldn¡¯t figure out how a mere fourteen or fifteen-year-old child could make a fourth-grade official cry.

    ??~~

    In the west room, Zhao Hao was sitting on a chair, expressionlessly looking at Zhou Jijiu who was kneeling in front of him and begging.

    "You, Master Zhou, are allowed to take advantage of others' danger, but you are not allowed to fight back?"

    "Mr. Zhao, you misunderstood. In fact, I didn't want to come to the door." Zhou Jijiu explained hurriedly: "I didn't dare to recognize this marriage before because of Gao Xinzheng. Now that Gao has left the country, then I  There was nothing to worry about anymore. I originally planned to repair the book and apologize to Mr. Zhao and see if we could get back together. But the man named Liu kept trying to encourage me from behind, saying that even if Gaoxin Zheng stepped down, Lingzu would not be able to recover.  Yes. He also said how Lingzu held grudges, and his daughter married another Qian family I really believed him."

    "You mean, it's all the people named Liu who are instigating this?" Zhao Hao tapped his fingers on the table.

    "I heard that he climbed up a high branch again, so he was anxious to break off the engagement with your family." Zhou Jijiu replied hurriedly.

    "Oh?" Zhao Hao's heart moved, but when he asked, Zhou Jijiu didn't know the details. It was obvious that Liu Yuanwai was tight-lipped on the matter.

    Zhao Hao had no choice but to give up and turned around and said:

    "Since you can't afford the money, just help with the work."

    "Yes, yes, yes." Zhou Jijiu saw hope and nodded hurriedly: "I will definitely do it if I can do it."

    "My father took part in the provincial examination"

    "It's all up to me! I will recommend him directly without taking the exam!" Zhou Jijiu said immediately.

    "There is also a man named Fan Datong"

    "No problem, recommend them all." Zhou Jijiu expressed his position hurriedly.

    "That doesn't look good, just let him pass the exam smoothly." Zhao Hao thought carefully. Fan Datong has always been uneducated. If he is recommended, it will definitely cause a lot of controversy, which will hurt his father.

    The world is big and the earth is big, and my father¡¯s career is the biggest, so sending favors must be done without affecting Zhao Shouzheng.

    "There is more." Zhao Hao looked at him and said, "You can help me get the qualifications to become a student supervisor. Is it not difficult?"

    "It's not difficult, but it has to wait until after Qiu Wei." Zhou Jijiu said hurriedly: "It's not that I deliberately delayed it, it was because the court wanted to avoid shortcuts, so it only started after Qiu Wei."

    "Okay." Zhao Hao didn't plan to take the Qiuwei exam anyway, he just wanted to get the associate provost's crown so that he could have some basic dignity.

    This is actually the same thing as the landlord and the old financial donor.

    Unexpectedly, Zhou Jijiu was afraid that he would be dissatisfied, so he took the initiative and said: "The Imperial College has authorized a white-bodied scholar to sit in prison, which saves the young master from donating silver to the Ministry of Household Affairs."

    "Confucian scholar?" Zhao Hao's eyes lit up.

    "It's different. But it's more respectable than being a prisoner. Of course, the number of places is very limited." Zhou Jijiu shook his head and said confidently: "I will help Mr. Zhao get it done."

    Zhao Hao originally planned to extort some more money, but that's all an Imperial College official can do, and it's not as good as a seventh-grade county magistrate.

    "That's it for the time being. We'll think about it later." He had no choice but to say, "Give me the Geng Tie."

    Zhou Jijiu was here to break off the engagement, so he naturally put the Geng Tie in his sleeve. After hearing this, he immediately took out an envelope and held it in front of Zhao Hao with both hands.

    Zhao Hao opened the envelope. It was the same as last time. In addition to Zhao Shouzheng's letter, there was also a 500-tael meeting ticket. It was probably the same one as last time.

    Zhao Hao is no longer a monk under Wu, and he knows that people with status, especially officials, will not frequent the bank.  They would ask their trusted servants to open an account, and all daily money transfers would be made in the name of the servant. This would save a lot of trouble in every sense.

    "For example today, Zhao Hao deposited the two thousand taels of silver directly into Gao Wu's account

    "You're stingy." Zhao Hao now has a net worth of more than 40,000 taels, which is a mere 500 taels.

    ¡°But mosquito legs are also meat, so of course he won¡¯t return them.

    "It's done, let's go out." Zhao Hao put away the Geng Tie and Shi Shiran stood up.

    "Mr. Zhao, have you let me go?" Zhou Jijiu looked at Zhao Hao.

    "It depends on your performance." Zhao Hao said irresponsibly.

    &nbsp"Yes, yes" Zhou Jijiu nodded hurriedly and stood up. How could he still have the magnanimity of a Qingliu official?  He stretched out his hand toward Zhao Hao and said, "Mr. Zhao, is my daughter's Geng Tie also"

    ¡°I¡¯ll ask my father for it later.¡± Zhao Hao said and opened the door.

    ??~~

    Coming out of the hall, Zhou Jijiu miraculously regained the composure of a fourth-grade officer. However, there were two faint gray stains on his knees and red eyes, which made it difficult for people not to think about what happened just now.

    "Father." Zhao Hao clasped his fists and reported to Zhao Shouzheng: "Da Sicheng just gave me a heartfelt persuasion. The child has realized that he should not be stubborn. As the saying goes, it is better to dissolve enemies than to marry them. Let's agree to break off the engagement."

    Zhou Jijiu also held his beard and forced a smile and said: "A child can be taught, a child can be taught."

    Zhao Shouzheng was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Zhao Hao winking at him, he didn't say anything more, went back to the east room, took out two Geng Tie, and handed them into his son's hands.

    Zhao Hao then handed the one from the Zhou family back to Zhou Jijiu, and then pretended to pass the other one to Liu Yuanwai.

    Liu Yuanwai stretched out his hand but found nothing.

    "Where's the money?" Zhao Hao twitched his hand and returned to his arrogant look.  "Ten thousand taels of silver, not a penny less."

    ¡°Compared to Zhou Jijiu, this guy is even more hateful.

    "Didn't you say that it's better to dissolve enemies than to marry them?" Liu Yuanwai was confused and pointed to Zhou Jijiu.  "Why retreat with him and not with me?"

    Zhao Hao then smiled and said: "Da Sicheng has already written an IOU and promised to collect the money slowly later, right?"

    "Yes, yes, yes." How dare Zhou Jijiu not cooperate?  He nodded hurriedly and said: "I can't afford so much money at the moment, so I can only collect it slowly, but Yuan Liu has a net worth of millions, so this little money will definitely not be a problem for him."

    "Huh?" Liu Yuanwai was stunned when he heard this, wondering why Zhou Jijiu dug a hole for himself.  But even to death he wouldn't believe that Zhou Jijiu would pay this IOU.

    "I still have something to do, so let's go first." Zhou Jijiu was afraid of sitting on the wax again, so he bowed his hands to everyone, ignored Liu Yuan, and walked away alone.

    "This" Liu Yuanwai could no longer see that Zhou Jijiu was being used by Zhao Hao. Why should he be the vice president of the Dongting Merchant Gang?

    After Zhou Jijiu left, he lowered his face and said to Zhao Hao and his son: "I don't care what methods you use to deal with Zhou Jijiu, but the person who can rip off Liu is not born yet!"

    "Then there's nothing to talk about." Zhao Hao also said with a cold face, holding up the tea cup: "Send off the guests!"

    Gao Wu stood in front of the door and made an invitation gesture.

    Seeing that they were going to return without success today, Liu Yuanwai was so angry that he stamped his feet and said: "Just wait and see, I want you and your son to know that there are some people you can't afford to offend!"

    "This is also for Liu Yuanwai." Zhao Hao stood at the door with his hands behind his hands and sneered as Liu Yuanwai walked away in disgrace.

    Zhao Shouzheng watched Liu Yuanwai's figure disappear outside the wall. Fang asked curiously: "What's so special about my son's poem? Why did Fang Cun, surnamed Zhou, get into such a mess?"

    Zhao Hao smiled lightly and said, "Because it was a love poem he wrote to Zhu Taiyu, a famous prostitute in Qinhuai."

    "Zhu Taiyu?" Zhao Shouzheng had obviously heard of this name, and said with a knowledgeable look: "I heard that she is a female historian who is becoming popular this year. I'm afraid she won't receive our Lord Jijiu, right?"

    The famous prostitutes in Qinhuai River love the talented and romantic men, secondly the wealthy businessmen who spend a lot of money, but the most disgusted are the officials of the dynasty.  Because these people are stingy and like to put on airs, and most of them are very old, bad old men

    "It was Wei Guogong who paid a high price to invite her to accompany Zhou Fei." Zhao Hao scratched his nose in embarrassment, feeling that this was not an issue that a fourteen-year-old or fifteen-year-old boy should discuss, so he said concisely: "Of course, Wei Guogong never came forward in person, he asked  I asked a man named Shao Daxia to handle this matter."

    "Shao Fang?" Zhao Shouzheng said dumbfounded: "That is a strange man. It is said that there is nothing in the world that he cannot do!"

    As he said that, he asked his son: "Then Wei Guogong ordered Shao Fang to find someone named Zhou. What should he do?"

    "He wanted his younger son Xu Bangning to replace his eldest son Xu Bangrui to succeed him, so he asked Zhou Jijiu for help." Zhao Hao replied in a deep voice. If he had guessed before, Zhou Jijiu's performance had already proven this.  thing.

    "That's it." Zhao Shouzheng suddenly realized that there was such a conspiracy hidden behind that erotic poem.

    According to the system of the imperial dynasty, if a noble's son wants to ascend to the nobility, he must first enter the martial arts school of the Imperial College to receive education, and then he can go to Beijing to take the assessment.  If Duke Wei wants to abolish the eldest son and establish a younger son, he must first let his younger son enter the Imperial Academy's martial arts school, and at the same time try to get the Imperial Academy to refuse the eldest son's admission. This requires the cooperation of Zhou Jijiu.

    "It's just such a secret thing. How did my son know about it?" Zhao Shouzheng remembered something again and asked hurriedly.
